amorous said:
not 100% correct;
vbscript is a client-side language (supported only in Internet Explorer). It is also a server-side language used for ASP scripts along with JScript.
the <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%> line is not strictly required for vbScript as it is the default language for ASP.
Is the Mail component referenced installed on the server ?

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
Err, still not 100% correct
VBScript is a scripting language for the Windows environment. The interpreter for the language was made available to browsers on the Windows platform so that you could write client-side VBScript. Same for IIS, the scripting interpreter was made available to IIS in order to use VBScript to manipulate the ASP objects and producse output. In the same manner you can also write ASP in a variety of other languages, such as JScript, PerlScript, and Python.
The part asking about the Mail component I would agree with though
It is my guess that is what is causing the error.
If you aren't seeing more than "There was an error" as the error output page then go into the browser settings and turn off te "Show Friendly HTTP errors". If that doesn't cause you to see a more detailed error message, go to Advanced Settings > Internet Services Manager > Rt clik on your Default Web Server > Properties > Home Directory Tab > Configuration section hit the Settings button > Third tab in new popup window (App debugging?) > Select the radio button that says send detailed error messages.
Heh, i just did that from memory, goes to show even I can remember something if I do it enough times
